Nylite & Maxilite

Nylite and Maxilite spinnaker fabrics have been developed specifically with the quality-conscious cruising sailor in mind. Both materials are impregnated with a durable melamine finish and provide excellent tear and stretch resistance, guaranteeing years of sailing performance.

Key Specifications
  • Melamine Finish:Durably impregnated to maximize stability and longevity.
  • Ideal Balance:Exact ratio between weight, stability, tear resistance, and breaking strength.
  • Application:Specifically engineered for radial-cut spinnakers.
  • UV Advisory:Fluorescent colors are more sensitive to UV radiation and not recommended for trans-oceanic passages.

Profurl System

Profurl NEX Series

Designed for light and heavy headsails (Code 0, Gennaker, Screacher), the upgraded NEX generation delivers unprecedented performance and ease of handling. Thanks to the extra-wide XXL drum, furling is lighter and faster. The patented FurlAssist (ratchet function) ensures optimal control during maneuvers and prevents accidental sail deployment.

Key Specifications & Innovations
  • FurlAssist (Ratchet):Intuitive assist mechanism that prevents unintentional unfurling. Automatically disengages when hauled in quickly.
  • Safe System:Removable continuous line prevents line override/rotation during unfurling and eliminates excess wear.
  • S-Grip Drum:Dedicated drum profile providing superior grip on the furling line without slipping.
  • I-Connect Technology:Quick-release pin mechanism on the swivel and drum that operates easily and securely, even with gloves.
